Popcorn crowd runner

Hold to pop. Fill the bucket.

What's inside

Short, bright levels with a real challenge

Popcorn Panic level 3: the popcorn cart heads for a blue x2 gate next to a red -6 gate

Hold to pop, drag to steer

Gates that multiply

POP ×2 and ×3, BUTTER +2 to +6 and SALT ×2 grow your crowd. Minus gates and soggy halves shrink it, so pick your side.

Hard level 15: teal soda drops reach the popcorn cart while a pink candy wall marked 12 blocks the road

Splash the soda gang

Fizzy drops march down the road. Pop them before they reach your cart, and bring a big crowd to smash the candy walls.

Spend the coins you win on a bigger start crowd, faster popping and more pop power, so every level stays fair as it gets harder.

How do you play Popcorn Panic?

Is Popcorn Panic safe for kids?
